KURTISTOWN, May 27, 2016 – The County of Hawai‘i Department of Public Works is pleased to announce that the installation of a right turn lane on Kuauli Road where it intersects the Volcano Highway (makai side) heading towards Kea‘au has been completed.

The project included the widening of the approach to intersection, paving, striping, and signage improvements. The new lane makes turning onto the highway safer for motorists and helps reduce traffic congestion at the intersection.

The County of Hawai‘i Department of Public Works would like to thank the community and motorists for their patience, understanding and support throughout the improvement project.
